Tue, 24 May 2011 00:26:22 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=131022#comment-1075970A lot of people seem to be misunderstanding this. Sean Payton had probably already told Connor the Saints were targeting Mark Ingram. But when Cam Jordan fell in their lap, they knew they had to take him. So they ended up getting both due to trading.

Does anyone here honestly believe that Sean Payton put the fate of a professional sports team in the hands of a 10 year old boy?

Grow up.

At least he didn’t use a dart board with 1000 player names on it, you know, like Matt Millen and his coaches did.”

Matt Millen deserves a lot more credit than you give him.

Do you even realize how much work goes into coming up with 1,000 Wide Receivers to pin to that board every year?

Mon, 16 May 2011 22:56:16 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=131022#comment-1067340Good grief, some of you are such prick-ly people! Do you walk around all day sucking lemons on a stick? It was a funny, endearing story, but it sounds like he’d already told his son he’d probably take Ingram, then things shifted when Jordan fell. They saw a chance to get both and took it and he had some fun with his kid. I don’t think the Saints were actually making their personnel decisions based on the wants of a 10-year-old.

@trbowman …

Mark Ingram played with tremendous heart at Alabama. He worked hard as a student, earning his degree in three years. He worked hard rehabbing from his knee surgery. He worked hard to play through injuries, to support his teammates, and to be an asset to the team and the community. Most Saints fans will probably enjoy having someone who does his job without playing prima donna. One of the many nice things about Mark is that he’s not the type to let ignorant goons bother him.

Oh, come on. Give the kid a break. Can you honestly say that if your dad was a Superbowl winning head coach, you wouldnt do the same thing as a kid. Hell I am 27 years old and if my dad was an NFL head coach. I WOULD do the same thing. Well, everything except the hollering. I’d be up in every bar bragging about how my dad is an NFL head coach and spewing my opinion as fact like I have inside knowledge of whats happening with my dads team. Its fun.

Wow, what a great reason to trade back up into the first and draft at a position where you seemingly have a work horse already.

Can’t wait to see how this works out in an NFC South that’s on the rise.

Mon, 16 May 2011 22:09:47 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=131022#comment-1067222I’m sure the majority of 10 year olds out there aren’t interested in drafting anything other than QBs, RBs, and WRs…

I’m sure he’s fine with Regge Bush since these players are like toys to this kid. How old is he?
